Having a consistent artificial gravity situation combined with radiation shielding for transport reduces the mass that a mission has to devote to those problems enormously. It's like buying a car versus renting - if you only use it once or twice, it's insane. But much more than that, and it ends up being a huge saving. | |

"Image" as a verb is more commonly used to describe processes of imaging devices and is not a substitute for "imagine" or "picture" when used as verbs.
